Inter Miami have announced the signing of former Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets on a two-year deal.
World Cup winner Busquets will occupy a Designated Player slot and is expected to join the team in the coming days.
The move will see the nine-time La Liga title winner reunited with former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi, who made the switch to the Major League Soccer side following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
